1. Combined for 83 HR that year, with one leading the league in homers at age 23.
2. You guys are so close I might just give it to you. One was a rookie, the other in his first year with the club.
3. Same last name as a player listed upthread. His teammate hit under the Mendoza Line.

Soon as I saw the trivia question in this thread, I knew Jose Hernandez would be one of the answers.

Back when he was a Cub, my friends and I opined that a special rule should be passed such that whenever Jose had a 2-strike count he should just be called out, in order to save us all time. Even the worst slider thrown low and away would punch him out.
